Hi Holger,

I vaguely recall seeing one, but I may be mistaken.  You may want to check the 
mailing list archives.

One issue that will need to be resolved is the license on procallator.pl, which 
has no license:

# Collector for /proc statistics for use with Linux 2.2 and 2.4 kernels.
#
# $HeadURL: 
http://svn.orcaware.com:8000/repos/trunk/orca/data_gatherers/procallator/procallator.pl.in

I've emailed Guilherme asking if he could assign the GPL license to his code so 
we can in good faith make modifications and improvements to the script. 
However, I haven't heard back from him.

Once we get this issue resolved, I'll gladly include any patches you come up with.

Regards,
Blair
